Learning to Generate Reviews and Discovering Sentiment


Idea

Given sufficient representation capacity, the neurons in a network can disentangle higher level features like sentiment from an otherwise incoherent latent representation. Authors identify a neuron that encapsulates almost all of the sentiment attribute of a body of text, the value of which can be tuned to modify the sentiment of generative functions conditioned on the representation.
